For some reason I no longer have the "standby" option in
shutting down my computer. How do I get it back?

My computer won't go past the Window's 98 logo page. It

place the start up disc in to reinstall it, "A:/" comes
up.... PLEASE Help! I have papers for school I need to

When I attempted to open Microsoft Word, I got the
following message:  "The file OLEAUT32.DLL is out of
date.  The program requires a newer version."  Also, "The

How do I configure it to except more?

Brian

is no name and I don't know who the manufacturer is).

When I try to press the start button in Windows 98, the
menu pops up for about two seconds.  Then it closes.  In
order to get to any of the programs I want to access I
have to know the keyboard shortcuts letters to open them.

it.  This one seems to be the "lulu".  Last week, all of a

Win 98.........Just got a new ADSL modem (free from the ISP). Installed OK
but suddenly I have it dropping offline etc.I think the USB power is

I'm in the process of tweaking the Windows file folder.  Can anyone tell me

before.  Thanks for your input
